MECHANICAL MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,046, dated December 8, 1885.

Application filed August 14, 1885. Serial No. 174,453.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILETUs F. BUGBEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohazy, in the county of Clinton and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Motors; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has relation to mechanical or manual motors for converting a rotary into a reciprocating motion; and the object is to pro Vide a hand-machine for operating churns, washingmachines, saws, and various other machines in daily use about the farm and household; and to these ends the novelty consists in the construction, combination, andarrangement of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully described,andparticularly pointed out in the claims. I

In the accompanying drawings the same letters of reference indicate like parts of the invention.

Figure l is aside elevation of my invention, showing the machine organized to produce several revolutions of the crank-shaft for one of the handles, and Fig. 2 is a similar view with the handles placed on the crankshaft to produce one revolution ofit for each turn ofthe handles.

A is the frame, and mountedinit is acrankshaft provided with a pinion, B, on the face of which is adj ustably secured a counterbalanced crank, O, to the crank-pin 0 of which is attached a pitman, D, the outer end of which is provided with an oscillating guide, E, the upper end working in a slot,e, in the stanchion F, which insures a steady motion of the pitman; and the guide E working in the guideway G of the frame, prevents any lateral motion of (No model.)

the pitman, and keeps it in line with the crank. This crank is provided with slots a a, through which it is secured to the face of the pinion B by means ofthe bolts b b; and H isa sliding weight adjustably secured upon the opposite end of the crank by a screw, h. It will thus be seen that the throw of the crank can be increased or diminished to suit the work the machine is to perfor1n,and whenever it is adjusted its initial weight is counterbalanced by the adjustment of the weight H.

I is the main driving-shaft, journaled in adjustable bearings i,provided with slots 1', by means of which it may be vertically adjusted as desired.

J isagear-wheel secured to the shaft I,meshing with the pinion B on the lower shalt; and K is a balance or driving wheel, provided with handle it, for operating the same. When desired, the shaft I may be raised so as to throw the gears out of mesh and the balance-wheel removed and placed upon the lower shaft, as shown in Fig. 2. This gives a slower speed, with, of course, an increase of power.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States,

1. The combination, with thepinion B, provided with bolts 1) b, of the adjustable crank 0, provided with counterbaIance-weight H and slots a a, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination,with the balance-wheel and gear-wheel J, mounted on the shaft I, journaled in adjustable bearings 13, of the pinion B, having bolts b b. and the crank 0, provided with slots at a and weight H, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
